It was a wonderful event. There were several very special moments.
One, Congressman John Lewis spoke to our audience honoring the Airmen and two- the smiles our kindergarten students had when they were able to walk in the reception area after the program and the Airmen greeted them, shook hands and signed every autograph that was needed.–The event was well worth the many hours of preparation the Tuskegee Airmen Day Committee spent in honoring the Airmen —
